Strategies
for Survival - by Beryle Williams
The
contribution to our Verse section in this issue was discovered
very serendipitously, given the main theme subject, on the
Internet website of the Colorado Poets Center.
We
are indebted to Beryle Williams for her kind agreement to our
use of the poem.
Beryle's
biography may be found - together with further verse of her own
and other members of the Colorado Poets Center at
The
editors wish to make it clear that they are not literary
critics and do not presume to judge the literary merit
of any of the contributions
received for this section. They simply
publish verse that they like and that they consider to
have merit within the context of Nurturing Potential.
Martial
said: "He does not write at all whose poems no man
reads." And to Wilson Mizner is attributed
"Poets are born, not paid".
Our
contributors would be delighted to receive feedback on
their verse, whether praising or damning, because all
feedback is positive and the evidence that the work has
been read will be payment enough. Comments by
e-mail please to poetry@nurturingpotential.net.
Better yet, send us some poetry of your own.
